A Message from Elizabeth Hubble

PETSA instructor

PETSA—Personal Empowerment through Self Awareness—features videos that deal frankly with sexual assault and rape. They are designed to be informative and educational.

The videos emerged out of a multidisciplinary team effort at The University of Montana, comprised of faculty, staff and students, and are based on rape and sexual assault reduction and prevention data.

The role of gender in rape and sexual assault can be challenging. We ask our students and anyone watching these videos to approach them open to this challenge. By hearing the important information presented, we hope that all of our students grow in their relationships on campus so that they can truly enjoy their college years.
